Humanity resides on a restless and turbulent earth - plagued with earthquakes, volcanoes, tsunamis, hurricanes, floods and ice - with little chance of stopping these calamties or even predicting their arrival. Yet, although these terrifying forces have caused death and destruction throughout history, they are part of a vital process that has taken place since the very birth of our planet. Without these natural disasters, there would be no landscape - and no life. NATURE'S POWER REVEALED tells the story of this remarkable process, chronicling the deadly energy that is released and the extraordinary, beautiful and dramatic landscapes that result. This process has created the land and the sea and shaped and re-shaped the world, renewing and replenishing even as it destroys.
